LINE Yahoo has released a new map application called "Maply," powered by OpenAI's generative AI. The app is currently available as a free download on iOS, with Android and web versions expected later.
Maply integrates AI to enhance navigation and location-based services, offering a smarter, more conversational user experience. Users can ask questions, get recommendations, and explore maps using natural language, thanks to the underlying OpenAI model.
The app was launched on February 24, 2026, and is positioned as a next-generation mapping tool that combines the reach of LINE Yahoo's ecosystem with advanced AI capabilities. For now, only iPhone users can access Maply, but the company has indicated that broader support is on the way.
